With the Lists stuff, often I would just pick a choice, start arguing
its merits, and wait to see if anyone screamed. If no one complains:
bingo! :-)
You should probably at least post the merits and drawback of each
approach, as you see it. Presumably others will do the same if they
think you missed something.

The problem with a vote is there is no real weight on it, and no good
idea of the rationale behind the numbers. The nightmare scenario is that
the majority was just going with the flow to get things moving, while
the minority voting against it had a damn good reason.
The other issue with getting consensus is that we want to make sure we
don't leave %49 or %32 of everyone behind every time we make a decision.
We need as near to a universal buy-in as we can get.
